PS4 diagrams from GDC

 A better overview from the source. http://pc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/column/kaigai/20130329_593760.html

Dat sexy ass GDDR5. Thank you Lord Kaz.

Yes. YES! Feed my geeky interest in the PS4!!!

Muhahaha! :lol:

OMG GDDR5 is so darn Sexy and its 8GB. PS4 is a powerhouse :).

I notice the CPU clockrate it bigger then the standard Jaguar 1.6GHz, the diagram says larger >1.8GHz. Maybe its 2GHz, there was a rumor a while ago that said this if I remember correctly.

We need Ronvalencia at once.

Oh yeah baby. Poor lems. Thank you Godny.kuraimen

It had good gfx. Though, I can't ever recal someone I knew having both Xbox and PS2. So I can't say I ever compared the gfx of the two. 

And how many of the cows hyping the PS4 and 8GB GDDR5 actually understand what they're seeing here?

Dam look at all them numbers and letters I don't know jack shit about:P

Could someone without a Fanboy brain tell what all that means:lol:

Never said the games looked bad, but on a technical level it was below that of the gamecube and xbox (which were pretty close) and more on par with the dreamcast than anything else.

The fvck am I looking at.

Hmm. You meant the components in the tech specs. My mistake!

I wish I could take a dive into all that GDDR5 like Scrooge McDuck dives into his gold coins

That last picture is misleading and wrong

PS2 main memory bandwidth was 3.2 GB/s while its 4mb dram for video was rated for 48GB/s but it could never reach it.

PS3 max memory bandwidth is 25 GB/s with main memory and video memory is 22GB/s

You cant just add the bandwidth together...

How many computer engineering classes do I have to take to understand this? My 2 consecutive comp sci classes apparently were slacking.bbkkristian

Already corrected at beyond 3D since this is not an official diagram the clock speed of the jaguar cores is 1.6 Tessellation

I don't get why Sony keeps pointing out that the CPU is designed for low power consumption/heat, all it does is remind people the PS4 is running a glorified netbook CPU.

Hmm...the fact that it says the CPU has low power consumption and low thermals doesn't bode well, although I guess it depends on what your definition of low power consumption/thermals is. You can reduce temperatures to a certain degree, but any powerful system is gonna generate a decent bit of heat. There's a reason Nintendo consoles don't heat up much...

[QUOTE="nintendoboy16"][QUOTE="PSP107"]The PS2 was a beast machine.PSP107

Says you. I always noticed my gamecube games (especially the ones designed specifically for the console) looked better. For example:

Gamecube top

PS3 bottom

[QUOTE="nintendoboy16"][QUOTE="PSP107"]The PS2 was a beast machine.PSP107

Xbox and GC didnt blow away PS2 graphics.

XBOX had superior looking (and feeling) multiplats, as did GameCube in some instances (though for me, what version of said multiplat being superior has never been a deciding factor in buying a game, save for a few instances).

There's nothing on the PS2 that matches that of the Metroid Prime (GameCube) games, Rogue Squadron (GameCube, though to be fair, parts of RS II looked kind of lifeless), Star Fox Adventures (GameCube) Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (XBOX version), and Doom 3 (XBOX).

Hell, PS2 ports of GameCube GAMES (RE4, Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2) look even worse.

Haha the only thing cows recognize in those charts is GDDR5. :lol:

Desktop AMD Jaguars would be replacing AMD Bobcats and low cost/low power Bulldozer/Piledriver (e.g. Jaguar was included within the A series APU line) and would be faster than laptop/netbook/tablet versions.

To increase the clock speed, AMD added an extra stage to the Jaguar's design.

On cost basis(relates to chip size), AMD Jaguar was designed to go against ARM Cortex A15 (e.g some prototypes goes beyond 2Ghz).

Interesting but expected like usual. The Playstation 4 is a PURE Heterogeneous System Architecture machine.ShadowDeathX
